Traitor: 05/09/08 The sixth story in the May issue of FSF, "Traitor" by M. Rickert and it's the second story by her I've read. I preferred "Don't Ask" to "Traitor." "Traitor" is basically a mood piece set in a near future or alternate reality America where the environment is shot and terrorism is common place. Half of the story is told from Alika's point of view, a child who seems too happy for the hardships she and her "mother" are enduring. The second half is told in a disembodied fashion by Pauline who hints at the truth behind her relationship with Alika and her plans for the child. It's a rather sobering look at how adults can take advantage of children and the effects of war on society. Comments (0) Name: Email (won't be posted): Blog URL: Comment: 1997-2023 Sarah Sammis
